Purple Nike Mercurial Vapor XI 2016-2017 Boots Released
Following up on the bold Euro 2016 paint job and the subsequently released black and grey colors, Nike has unveiled purple Nike Mercurial Vapor XI football boots as part of its new Floodlights Pack.
Nike Mercurial Vapor XI - Purple Dynasty / Orange / Hyper Grape
This image shows the purple Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 soccer cleat colorway from the Floodlights Pack.
Predominantly purple, the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 boots combine this relatively understated base with orange trim. Orange trim is present on the Purple Dynasty Nike Mercurial 2016-2017 cleats in the form of all brandings, the studs and the new Mercurial's iconic 'speed-rib' texture. Additionally, the Floodlights Pack Nike Mercurial Vapor XI 2016 soccer boots feature a subtle gradient from the relatively dark Purple Dynasty at the back towards the more dynamic Hyper Grape at the front.
Made for ultimate ball control at high speed and impeccable traction, the purple and orange Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 2016-17 soccer cleats from the Floodlights Pack feature the all-new, aforementioned speed ribs on the upper. Designed to be the new trademark element of the Nike Mercurial silo, the ribs are placed on the upper of the new Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 to improve lockdown and touch on the new Electric Green Nike Mercurial Vapor XI 2016-2017 boots.
Other than that, the Nike Mercurial Vapor 11 16-17 football boots largely echo the look of their predecessors, including both the unique one-piece upper construction and a similar, ultra-thin Teijin microfiber upper. The upper of the purple Nike Mercurial Vapor football boots again features Nike's ACC (All Conditions Control) technology. The outsole has been completely reworked to offer more natural and improved traction. Read more about the Mercurial Vapor XI here.
Set to be available from October 3, 2016, the purple Nike Mercurial Vapor XI football boots retail at €220 ($230, £180).

Portuguesa 2026 Third Kit Released - Tribute to Portugal Ahead of 2026 World Cup
Brazilian club Associação Portuguesa de Desportos, commonly known as Portuguesa, has officially launched its new third kit for the 2026 season. Produced by technical sponsor Joma, the new uniform pays direct homage to the Portuguese national team, celebrating the club's deep historical roots as Portugal prepares to compete in the upcoming 2026 World Cup.
The new Portuguesa 2026 third jersey closely mirrors the classic look of the Portuguese national team, featuring a vibrant crimson red base enhanced by subtle jacquard detailing that provides a sense of movement to the fabric. The shirt is structured with a classic polo collar adorned with red and white edging and a green front point insert. The sleeves remain red with contrasting green underarm panels, while the cuffs match the collar's red and white trim.
Further solidifying the international tribute, the official coat of arms of Portugal is prominently displayed on the nape of the neck above the white player numbering. The alternative uniform is completed by green shorts and red socks, finalizing the classic Portuguese color scheme.
The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut this Saturday, May 16th, in a match against Água Santa.

The new Athletico Paranaense 2026-2027 away kit is white, with the traditional team colors prominently featured through a striking red and black gradient effect applied across the shoulders.
The uniform is further detailed with various subtle graphic elements referencing the history and symbols of the club, which are placed on the inside of the collar, the back hem, and within the custom numbering.
